Service marketplaces connect buyers with skilled providers, freelancers, consultants, and agencies. They require workflows for discovery, proposals, booking, contracts, and trust signals like reviews and portfolios. Building a viable MVP means focusing on core flows that let users find, hire, and pay providers with confidence.
